How much evidence do you need?

I don’t “get” people who think Israel is to blame for the problems over there. They believe if Israel was just a bit more accommodating and would stop making such a huge deal about all those rocket attacks then everything would just be peachy.

Well, what do you make of comments like this one from Egyptian cleric Muhammad Hussein Ya’qoub:

If the Jews left Palestine to us, would we start loving them? Of course not. We will never love them. Absolutely not. The Jews are infidels – not because I say so, and not because they are killing Muslims, but because Allah said: “The Jews say that Uzair is the son of Allah, and the Christians say that Christ is the son of Allah. These are the words from their mouths. They imitate the sayings of the disbelievers before. May Allah fight them. How deluded they are.” It is Allah who said that they are infidels.
